Since the beginning of the season I have noticed that my ski tips were vibrating more than usual. Now I know why. Since I had the engine removed for a rebuild, I inspected the motor mounts for damage. Three out of four were torn and the fourth was very soft and off center. I guess it's no wonder that I almost wore out a belt in 400 miles. Just thought I would put this out here for everyone to take notice and be reminded to check your motor mounts periodically. They are $23 each!

The worn parts you find when you take a real close look starts to get expensive replacing parts all the time :bash: I guess if you do alot of riding buying new every year is the way to go. But that is expensive also.

Ya, this is way cheaper than buying a new sled. I'll keep repairing.
